Happy Groundhog Day everyone! Looks like we’re going to be stuck with winter a while longer, unfortunately. But at least we can celebrate National Cherry Month throughout February. I’ve always had a weird relationship with cherries over the years. When it comes to candies and flavors, cherry is by far my favorite. But I’ve never really enjoyed eating the fruit. Maybe it’s the fact that I have to remove the pit myself, when it’s already in my mouth, I don’t know. I’d just prefer to eat cherry flavored Pez any day over a little old cherry. Still, I have to celebrate this month! I’m going to give you 10 of the most fun cherry recipes Recipe4Living has to offer. Check them out after the jump.
